Infosys Expands Strategic Collaboration with DNB Bank ASA to Modernize Financial Crime Operations

WHY THIS MATTERS

The expansion of the strategic collaboration between Infosys and DNB Bank ASA, announced on June 2, 2026, addresses a critical pain point for major European financial institutions: the operational burden of fragmented, legacy compliance systems. As Norway’s largest bank and a major financial force in the Nordic region, DNB must navigate increasingly complex cross-border regulatory frameworks.

Historically, tier-1 banks have monitored financial crime through disconnected, single-purpose software solutions—separating Anti-Money Laundering (AML) transaction monitoring, fraud detection, customer due diligence (CDD), and sanctions screening into independent silos. This structural fragmentation forces compliance teams to manually stitch together risk profiles across multiple user interfaces, driving up operational costs and causing a high rate of false positives. By appointing Infosys as its primary systems integration partner to deploy the cloud-native NICE Actimize X-Sight Enterprise platform, DNB is replacing its siloed defenses with a unified operating model. This shift turns compliance into an intelligent, data-driven framework capable of adapting to shifting criminal patterns in real time.

Infosys (NSE, BSE, NYSE: INFY), a global leader in AI-first business consulting and technology services, today announced the expansion of its strategic collaboration with DNB Bank ASA (DNB), Norway’s largest bank, to modernize its Financial Crime (FinCrime) operations using NICE Actimize X-Sight Enterprise platform. Through this engagement, Infosys will help DNB transform fragmented, legacy systems into a unified, intelligence-driven, cloud-native platform that enhances risk insights, improves detection accuracy, and strengthens multi-jurisdiction regulatory compliance.   

As the systems integration partner, Infosys will in collaboration with DNB lead the end-to-end modernization of the bank’s FinCrime technology landscape, including enterprise architecture design, platform integration, and data migration. It will consolidate key functions including customer and payment screening, customer due diligence, and transaction and fraud monitoring onto a single, scalable SaaS platform with unified enterprise case management. 

Leveraging its expertise in transforming anti-FinCrime systems, Infosys will implement NICE Actimize X-Sight platform, a secure and scalable system that supports seamless data integration, advanced analytics, and intelligent automation. Infosys will integrate X-Sight’s key solutions for anti-money laundering and fraud to provide DNB with a holistic view of customer risk visibility and improve detection of complex and evolving financial crime patterns. By implementing the platform’s AI-driven capabilities, Infosys will deliver value at scale, enabling advanced automation and laying the groundwork for continuous innovations, including intelligent orchestration and AI-assisted investigations. This will enhance detection accuracy, accelerate investigations with actionable insights, and improve DNB’s response time to regulatory demands, future-proofing its financial crime controls.   

Elin Sandnes, COO and Group Executive Vice President Technology & Services, DNB, said, “Protecting customers and the integrity of the financial system requires us to continuously raise the bar on detection and investigation. By working closely with Infosys and leveraging NICE Actimize’s X‑Sight Enterprise platform, we are enhancing our ability to detect, investigate, and prevent complex financial crime more effectively, while supporting our long‑term digital transformation and regulatory compliance objectives.”   

Craig Costigan, Chief Executive Officer, NICE Actimize, said “Financial institutions globally are seeking more intelligent, cloud‑native approaches to combat evolving financial crime. Through this collaboration with Infosys, our X‑Sight Enterprise platform’s AI-driven capabilities will help protect DNB and its customers from growing fraud and financial crimes, while boosting operational efficiency and reducing costs.”   

Dennis Gada, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Banking & Financial Services, Infosys, said, “Legacy systems are struggling to keep pace with the rapid evolution of financial crime. By consolidating anti‑money laundering and fraud capabilities onto an AI‑enabled enterprise cloud platform, we’re helping DNB Bank ASA move from fragmented controls to a unified, intelligence‑led operating model. This allows the bank to detect earlier, investigate smarter, and respond with greater consistency across jurisdictions. This modernization program reinforces our role as the strategic system integration and transformation lead, bringing intelligent operations to unlock AI value at scale across monitoring, detection, and investigations.” 

FF NEWS TAKE

Infosys is solidifying its position as a preferred transformation lead for complex banking modernizations. Financial crime networks have become highly automated, utilizing AI-driven mule rings and sophisticated digital fraud vectors that move faster than traditional batch-processed screening tools can manage. Under Dennis Gada, Global Head of Banking & Financial Services at Infosys, this modernization program moves DNB away from backward-looking, reactive controls toward an intelligence-led platform.

The core of this implementation relies on migrating DNB’s tech stack onto a unified, cloud-native Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) architecture. As part of this comprehensive cloud transformation, Infosys will integrate several specialized modules from the NICE Actimize portfolio:
